Traditional Japanese Sumac Candle

Experience the ancient art of Japanese candlemaking with these exquisite warosoku from Takazawa Candle. Since 1892, this fifth-generation family workshop in Nanao has been preserving techniques that date back to the 16th century, creating candles that transform any space into a sanctuary of calm.

Made from 100% plant-based sumac wax (haze) with hand-rolled wicks of washi paper and dried rush, these candles burn with a uniquely tall, bright flame that dances gently even without wind. The hollow wick core allows oxygen to flow through, creating that mesmerizing flicker while producing minimal smoke and virtually no dripping wax.

Originally crafted for Buddhist temples and meditation, warosoku bring a sense of sacred tranquility to modern life. Whether for evening reflection, yoga practice, or simply creating atmosphere, these candles connect you to centuries of Japanese spiritual tradition.
